Official "ONEderland by Spring" Check In Thread

[Mom of Sleepy Bashful and BabyDoc]

Ok. If any of you have read my journal, you know that I am quite upset with a pound gain I had this morning. I've been on induction for a week and I did lose a few that I had gained after one day of being bad last week.

So I am very serious now. (Well, as much as I can be ) For the next three days (at least) I will be having mostly meat. NO cheese or "extra stuff" like protein bars. My official WI is Saturday, so I will update you then.

Aw darn, up a lb. this week to 220. I eat 1,000 low-carb calories a day, I exercise religiously at Curves, I walk whenever possible, and I'm taking in water and protein. So how the heck did I gain????

Did I mention I also had a gastric bypass and I'm not supposed to be absorbing that whole 1000 calories yet???? YEESH!!!!

I doubt I'll make it by spring, but I was really hoping to make it. Sigh.

I have been looking forward to reaching 199 forever! I thought I would have been there by December, but the holidays messed me up. In January I was 203, but went up to 206 and I had to get myself back on track. Well I am now at 201 and when the scale hits 199 everyone is going to know it! WATCH OUT WORLD!!

I put the 40 pound clippie in my siggie as inspiration. If I see it, that will push me to get there. I've been looking at the 35 clippie since late November and it's old , so I give myself motivation to finally reach 40. I'm only about 3 pounds from it. 198 would be 40 pounds....send some pixie dust okay?

Oops, forgot to check in this week! I stayed the same, but we went out on Saturday evening for dinner so, I am fine with maintaining. I honestly don't think I am going to make it to Onederland by March 20, but hopefully by Easter (and definetly by my birthday in May). And you know what... it took me a LONG time to gain and hold on to this weight, so it is okay that it takes me a bit longer than I would like to lose it. (Patience is a virtue after all! )
Funny, after all the stressing about not losing, I realize I wasn't gaining, and should be proud of that fact. Plus, I have lost over 50lbs from my heaviest weight, and think that is pretty good! (Hope I don't break my arm patting myself on the back! )

HeidyHo All,

This is a mini check in. I will have to delay my regular check-in until Tuesday morning. I am off to Biloxi and to New Orleans for little Mardi Gras weekend. Hope every one has a decent rest of the week and a terrific weekend.







Hey Mista - throw me some beads!!

 

[Otto's Doll]

Good Sunday Morning, All! The scale is finally moving and I am down 1.5lbs to 214.5 YES! Closer and closer to ONEderland. How did everyone do with Valentine's Day? DH bought me some wonderful SF chocolates from my favorite candy place. I had too many, and paid for it later but they were so good! Now I have to ration the rest out to one piece a day. Oh, well. THIS IS ALL GOING TO BE SO WORTH IT, right?
See you next week!

220/215/199

I think I will go get myself a clippie!

 

[bambii]

i havent been on my healthy eating for a while it started with my surgery and got off track.. well i m back on.. I gained only five pounds while I was off... well Im back In the last week I have lost 3 pounds. I started out at 250 now im at 227...i hope I can get to 199 by spring..

 

[jwann]

Count me in - I'm at 212 now and if I push myself I can make it to 1-derland by the end of march!

 

[ibouncetoo]

Still in that blasted plateau.....been loosing and gaining the same three pounds, though this AM I was back at the low end, so I'm using that as motivation to NEVER let those 3 lbs back! I'm just going to focus on that goal for the next week and not worry about the 17 I want to lose by Easter! I KNOW I have to kick up (heck....do any!) exercise to get through this.

Onwards and downwards everyone!

 

[Baileymouse]

OK, Ms. Woosh Fairy visited over the weekend (probably had something to do with that violent virus I contracted, lol) and I am back down to 217. 18 to go! That's not such a big number, is it? So why is it going so slow!!!!!

Onward and downward!

 

[sln88]

just realised that I have been doing this for a month and only have one month left til spring

only lost 5#
15 to go

I am looking at the wonderland by summer thread

 

[NCRedding]

sln88: I'm with you on the summer thread. I have managed to stay on program for 2 days now, which is quite an accomplishment for me since about Thanksgiving. Still I don't expect to reach onderland in a month.

 

[Otto's Doll]

Me either. I am thinking of it as "Onederland in Spring" not BY spring anymore. But thats okay, cause we will get there.. doesn't matter when!

 

[R_Judy]

I'm just to chicken to get on the scale.

 

[Baileymouse]

215 on the home scale this week. That's 2 lbs. for the week. I thought I had done better, but boy, has this slowed down.

 

[Rain]

Not even attempted anything yet with this newly diagnosed hypothyroid!

Anyone else suffer with this and what diet works best???

Promise as soon as I feel better I will make a start. going to be Summerwonderland for me though!

 

[R_Judy]

I have severe hypothyroidism. I am on a very high does of Synthroid. It makes loosing weight very hard. I tried to double up on my medicine a few years back. It made me so very ill. So...onward and downward. Slow and steady wins the race.

 

[Disfan1]

I'm hypothroid too. My weight loss has been sssllllooooooowwwwww but worth it! I'm looking at ONEderland by summer at this point too- 10 lbs. to go in less than a month for Spring. Oh weel! It's the effort that counts!

 

[Mom of Sleepy Bashful and BabyDoc]

Well, I have faced the music, so to speak. I am not going to make it even by the beginning of summer.

BUT................ if anyone thinks they can make it, even by the END of spring, I say no problem!

I will still stay on board to give any updates.

So, what do ya say?
